    Pakistan drop Fakhar Zaman, Wahab Riaz for South Africa T20Is
  • Star players Fakhar Zaman and Wahab Riaz have been dropped from the Pakistan squad for the upcoming T20I series against South Africa.

    In a surprising move, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has also left out several top names including Mohammad Hafeez, Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim from the 20-member squad.

    Instead, the Mohammad Akram-led selection panel has named four uncapped players for the series.
